We are contemplating a trip with extended family in 2014 using our points. We did the same thing in 2011 and stayed at Kidani and everyone loved it. I've been considering the BCV for this next trip because I think everyone would love the location and Stormalong Bay but I am worried about room conditions after reading this thread and some other reviews. Hmmm. What to do?
Well, the other side is that I did a split stay between Kidani and BCV, and really disliked the long hallways of Kidani. And even though I'd asked for "near lobby" the room I got was as far from the lobby as from the IG to the BC lobby (I counted the steps-575). And although the CM had told me the view was especially nice, I hardly saw any animals, and no giraffes (on the sunset savnnah). On the other hand, I LOVED BCV (and I don't swim, so it wasn't the lure of SAB).
